If you pay for the procedure without insurance, total costs will depend on how you pay. How you choose to pay for your procedure – If insurance covers it, you’ll only be responsible for any copays, deductibles, and coinsurance required by your specific plan.

How competitive your surgeon and hospital fees are – there is often a substantial difference in costs between different doctors and hospitals, even within the same town.

Tap the “Without Insurance” button in the tool to compare the national average self-pay costs for each procedure. Which procedure you choose – if insurance won’t pay, costs range anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000+, depending on the procedure. See our Insurance Tool to find out if your plan covers it.

If there is no dilatation on the endoscopy, then it is up to the patient to get back on track. Of note, again, is that if a patient has regained their weight by grazing on high carb foods, it is unlikely there will be something functional we can fix. If, the endoscopy shows a dilated connection at the pouch to small bowel, then we can perform a revision by laparoscopically narrowing the connection and pouch.this is really the only revision we feel is adequate. In our practice, we like to get an upper endoscopy on our patients who have gained a significant amount of weight, and are not grazing on the wrong types of foods. However, the real question is, is there something that a surgeon can revise or not? Revisions are becoming a bit more common. Bariatric surgeon at CBGSA, Arcadia, California
